Im looking into a 300 gal and would like to get the best filtration i can. I just dont know what to get for tanks that large or larger.
 
Here is a link to my recent 300 build, it might give you some ideas. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221656

Here are a couple of pictures of my filtration setup.

There is a forum for filtration, you should probably post there, or mods could move this for you. However a pair of Fulval FX5 sholud cover it with some room to spare.
 
what do you plan on stocking it with? For large fish you want to turn the tank over 8 to 10 times an hour. So you should flow minimum 1800gph. You need a wet dry I'd only use a big canister filter as added filtration.
